Quad Marrakech runs both buggy tours itself, with its own guides, from a single meeting point in the Agafay desert: Laarissa El Mokhtar, Agafay Desert, 45 minutes by road south-west of central Marrakech. The standard buggy seats two side by side and is priced per vehicle: the 1-hour drive is €110 and the 2-hour drive €190. For a family or a small group there is also a 4-seat buggy (Can-Am 1000 cc), taken as an option on either drive: one driver and up to three passengers in the same vehicle. The driver must be 18 or over and hold a driving licence, and each passenger must be at least 6 years old.
The two-seat buggy has a roll cage, a harness for each seat and a steering wheel — closer to driving a car than to riding a quad. It sits lower, it corners harder, and the passenger sees the same thing the driver does. Both tours run on the same firm stone tracks the quads use.

Transfer from your hotel or riad on request: €60 per vehicle of up to 6, return trip.
The 1-hour buggy drive covers the tracks around the base and the first ridge behind it, with one stop. It takes about ninety minutes at the base in all.
The 2-hour buggy drive heads further into the plateau, where the ground opens up and the Atlas is in front of you rather than behind, with a second stop facing the range. It takes about two and a half hours in all.
The one or two hours are time at the wheel: the welcome, the briefing and the practice loop come before it, and the equipment is handed back after it. The buggy options, the briefing and the guide are the same on both. Departures are at 10 am, noon and 4 pm (5 pm from 1 April to 20 September); Moroccan time is GMT all year, and Ramadan does not change the times. Allow 45 minutes by road each way between central Marrakech and the meeting point.
The two-seat buggy is the standard: a driver and a passenger side by side. It suits a couple, two friends, or a parent with a child of 6 or over.
The 4-seat buggy (Can-Am 1000 cc) suits a family or a small group that wants to stay in the same vehicle: one driver and up to three passengers, with no minimum number of people. It is an option of both drives, the 1-hour and the 2-hour, chosen in the booking calendar before you confirm. The booking page has two counters, one for 2-seat buggies and one for the 4-seat buggy, and you say how many of your buggies are 4-seaters: six people, for example, take one 4-seater and one 2-seater.
The rules are the same for both: the driver is 18 or over with a driving licence, each passenger is at least 6 years old, and each booking includes at least one adult. The 4-seat option costs 50% more than the two-seat buggy, per vehicle and not per person; the exact price shows in the calendar before you book. There is one limit: Quad Marrakech has four 4-seat buggies per departure, shared by all bookings and by both drives. The counter stops at what is left on the departure you pick, and once the four are taken the other groups on that departure take 2-seat buggies.
A buggy is priced per vehicle, not per seat: €110 for an hour, €190 for two, with the two-seat buggy. The figure covers the machine, its fuel and its two places, so two people pay it once between them. The 4-seat option is priced the same way, per vehicle, at 50% more. Even so, two quads cost less than one two-seat buggy: a buggy is chosen for sitting side by side and driving like a car, not for the price. Quad or buggy: how to choose does the arithmetic in full.
A return transfer from your hotel or riad can be added when you book, for €60 per vehicle of up to six. You can pay at the base, in cash, or online with PayPal: a 30% deposit or the full amount. A group that wants a buggy and quads together can have both, but only to order: contact the team before the outing.
The driver must be 18 or over and hold a driving licence — bring it on the day. The passenger needs no licence but must be at least 6 years old, and each booking includes at least one adult. Driver and passenger can swap at a stop if both can drive: tell the guide before you set off.
No experience of off-road driving is needed. Every departure starts with a briefing on the controls and a practice loop, and a guide stays with the group.
A child under 6 cannot ride in the buggy; the camel ride is open from age 3. If nobody in the group holds a licence, quad biking in Marrakech asks for none: drivers must be 16 or over.
Closed shoes and sunglasses: the tracks are dusty, and a buggy throws up more of it than a quad. A warm layer if you drive late in the day. Helmets are provided and fitted at the base.
Every two-seat buggy has a roll cage and a harness at each of its two seats. On every tour, a helmet is fitted before the first start, a briefing on the controls and a practice loop on flat ground come before every departure, and a guide stays with the group from start to finish. Third-party liability cover is included; personal accident cover is not, and stays at your own expense. Quad and buggy safety says what we provide and what is up to you.

A buggy tour in Marrakech costs €110 for one hour and €190 for two, per vehicle, with the standard two-seat buggy. The price covers the buggy, its fuel and both of its seats, so two people pay it once between them. The 4-seat buggy is an option that costs 50% more than the two-seat buggy, also per vehicle; its exact price shows in the calendar before you book. The hotel transfer is extra, €60 per vehicle of up to six.
Two people fit in the standard buggy on a buggy tour in Marrakech: a driver and a passenger, side by side inside a roll cage, each with their own seat and harness. The optional 4-seat buggy (Can-Am 1000 cc) takes four: one driver and up to three passengers. Larger groups take several buggies and travel together.
No, buggy tours in Marrakech are not priced per person but per vehicle. The price covers the buggy and both of its seats, so two people pay it once between them, and the optional 4-seat buggy is priced the same way, per vehicle. Even so, two quads cost less than one two-seat buggy.
Yes, you need a driving licence to drive on a buggy tour in Marrakech — bring it on the day. The driver must be 18 or over; the passenger needs no licence but must be at least 6 years old. No off-road experience is needed, as every departure starts with a briefing and a practice loop.
Yes, on a buggy tour in Marrakech the passenger can swap into the driver's seat, and most pairs do, as long as both can drive. Tell the guide before you set off so the swap happens at a stop rather than on the move.
In Marrakech, choose a quad for price and a buggy for sitting side by side. A quad is ridden, one machine per person, with no licence; a buggy is driven like a car, two side by side in the standard buggy or four in the 4-seat option, with a licence. On price the quad wins, even for two: two quads cost less than one two-seat buggy.
No, the price of a buggy tour in Marrakech does not include hotel pickup. A return transfer from your hotel or riad can be added when you book, for €60 per vehicle of up to six; the base is forty-five minutes south-west of central Marrakech.
Yes, you can cancel a buggy tour in Marrakech free of charge up to 24 hours before the start, and anything you paid online is refunded. You can pay at the base, in cash (dirhams or foreign currency), or online with PayPal: a 30% deposit or the full amount.
Yes, but only to order: a group that wants a buggy and quads together on a tour in Marrakech cannot book the mix directly online. Contact the team before the outing and they will arrange it with you.
A 1-hour buggy tour in Marrakech takes about ninety minutes in all and a 2-hour tour about two and a half hours, because the welcome, the briefing and the practice loop come before the driving and the equipment is handed back after it. The buggy and its options are the same on both; what changes is the distance covered. Allow 45 minutes by road each way between central Marrakech and the meeting point.
The 1-hour and 2-hour buggy tours in Marrakech leave at 10 am, noon and 4 pm, and the afternoon departure moves to 5 pm from 1 April to 20 September. With the optional hotel transfer, the pickup is one hour before the start. Moroccan time is GMT all year, and Ramadan does not change the times.
Quad Marrakech (the company ELBAHI.NET SARL AU) runs both buggy tours on this page itself, with its own guides, who are our employees, and you book directly with us, not through a reseller. Both start from the same meeting point, Laarissa El Mokhtar, Agafay Desert, 45 minutes by road south-west of central Marrakech, and the buggies drive on the Agafay tracks.
No, a child under 6 cannot go on a buggy tour in Marrakech, because the passenger must be at least 6 years old. The driver must be 18 or over with a licence. For younger children, the camel ride at Agafay is open from age 3, with a responsible adult at all times; tell us the age when you book.
Wear closed shoes and sunglasses: the tracks are dusty, and a buggy throws up more dust than a quad. Add a warm layer if you drive late in the day, and bring your driving licence if you are the driver. Helmets are provided and fitted at the base before the first start.
Every two-seat buggy on our tours in Marrakech has a roll cage and a harness at each of its two seats, and on every tour a helmet is fitted before the first start.

Third-party liability cover is included; personal accident cover is not and stays at your own expense.
No, all our buggy tours in Marrakech are guided: a guide stays with the group from start to finish, and there is no rental without a guide. The tour leaves from our base in the Agafay desert, meeting point Laarissa El Mokhtar, Agafay Desert, 45 minutes by road south-west of central Marrakech, after a briefing on the controls and a practice loop on flat ground.
Yes, there is a 4-seat buggy in Marrakech for a family or a small group: a Can-Am of 1000 cc that takes one driver and up to three passengers, with no minimum number of people. It is an option of both buggy tours, the 1-hour and the 2-hour, chosen in the booking calendar before you confirm, where you say how many of your buggies are 4-seaters: six people, for example, take one 4-seater and one 2-seater. It costs 50% more than the two-seat buggy, per vehicle and not per person, and the exact price shows in the calendar before you book. Quad Marrakech has four of them per departure, shared by all bookings, so the counter stops at what is left. The driver must be 18 or over with a driving licence, each passenger at least 6 years old, and each booking includes at least one adult.
